All-Hands – Open Thinkering

Weeknote 21/2013

Posted on May 25, 2013 by Doug Belshaw

This week I’ve been at the Mozilla Foundation All-Hands in Toronto, during which (amongst other things) we:

Brainstormed
Laughed
Planned
Discussed
Welcomed
Collaborated
Partied
Ate
Drank
Were merry.

I really am fortunate to be surrounded by such amazingly talented, yet humble and welcoming people! Next week I’m taking the week off work to be with my family while schools are on a half-term break where we live.

This week I’ve been taking it a bit easier after three straight days of migraine over the weekend, and:

Hosting the weekly Mozilla Web Literacy standard call.
Collaborating on three Google Docs outlining the skills underpinning the competencies in each strand of the Web Literacy standard.
Registering (after being invited) for the EU Digital Agenda Assembly 2013 (Dublin).
Reading and catching up on longer-form content.
Attending the Open Badges community call for the first time in ages.
Thinking.
Participating in the Mozilla #teachtheweb MOOC by remixing Joe Wilson’s profile.
Talking with people (as I do every week!) about Open Badges. This week it was nice not to travel anywhere and do meetings via Skype and Google Hangouts.
Registering for the PLE Conference (Berlin). Tim Riches and I are running a pre-conference workshop.
Going through the logistics for next week’s All-Hands.

Next week I’ll be in Toronto for the Mozilla Foundation All-Hands 2013. It’ll be insane but awesome. I’m taking PTO (annual leave/holiday) for the week after that as it’s half-term for my wife and children. 🙂
